**Footnotes:**

1. The service standards are: 95% of European Economic Area (EEA) passengers with 25 minutes; and 95% non-EEA passengers within 45 minutes.
2. Sampling methodology: Most ports and airports involved in the sampling aim to take one queue measurement every hour during passenger arrival times, where it is practical to do so (but see notes 3 and 4 below). A queue is defined from when a passenger / vehicle joins a static body of people / line of vehicles to when they arrive at the UK Border control desk. To ensure consistency of approach ports are advised to used on of two recommended methods - either a passenger or vehicle is picked out as they join a queue and then visually traced (by an officer on location or by CCTV) until they reach the border control desk or the passenger will be handed a card with the time of joining queue noted and they are asked hand the card to Home Office officer on the desk as soon as they reach that point.
3. At some ferry ports, the median queue length is measured for cars and coaches as the representative sample of immigration queue length. At these locations, the time taken for the first car and the last car to clear the controls is measured, and this is divide by 2 to calculate the median queue length. This allows for a more accurate evaluation of the queuing time that excludes the waiting on board ship for disembarkation.
4. A recent audit of the methods used to measure waiting times found variations in the approaches being used. As a result of the recommendations made, work is underway to implement a more robust and consistent approach across all ports on entry.
5. From 25th August 2012, queue measures were taken every 15 minutes at Heathrow. This means that there has been an increase in the number of passengers sampled.
6. From 28th October 2012, queue measures were taken every 15 minutes at Gatwick. This means that there has been an increase in the number of passengers sampled.
7. From 2nd November 2013, queue measures were taken every 15 minutes at Stansted.
8. Ports have been reminded not to record a zero queue length unless passengers are present in the arrivals hall. As a result the number of measures taken have reduced.
9. All figures quoted are management information only which have been subject to internal quality checks and may be subject to change.

#### Footnotes:

14 Quantities of drugs seized are presented in terms of kilograms (kg), doses (000s) or plants (for cannabis plants only). Most drugs can plausibly be seized in preparation form other than kilograms or doses. Therefore, in order to present all seized quantities within a given drug type in terms of one comparable unit, conversion factors are applied to estimate the overall quantity of drugs seized. Conversion factors for this table are the same as those used for the Home Office’s Statistical Bulletin ‘Seizures of drugs in England and Wales, 2012-13’.

15 A ‘total quantity’ for all drugs seized cannot be calculated as conversion factors are not held for all substances.

16 As figures are rounded to the nearest integer, totals may not be the sum of constituent parts.

17 The variation in volume between England and the other countries is due to the majority of the international transport hubs being located in England.

18 Figures for Q1 & Q2 of 2013-14 may be revised in future quarterly releases due to more operational information becoming available and improved data quality assurance processes.

1. As a seizure can involve more than one drug, figures for individual drugs and drug classes cannot be added together to produce totals.
2. Methadone is included with Other Class A and cannot be separately identified.
3. Cannabis total includes skunk, oil and liquid seizures not included in plant, resin and herbal figures.
4. Barbiturates, Methadone and other Cathinone based drugs are included with Other Class B and cannot be separately identified.
5. Benzoylecgonine, Tetrahydrocannabinol, 3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine and 3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine are included with Other Class C and are not separately identified.
6. The grouping of the drug types has been aligned with the Home Office’s ‘Seizures of drugs in England and Wales’ statistical series.
7. The variation in seizures between England and the other countries is due to the majority of the international transport hubs being located in England.

#### Counting Rules

The data has been compiled using the Home Office seizure counting rules, additionally data processing and quality assurance have been completed.

**Single or multiple seizures**

A **single seizure** is where only one category is seized on a particular occasion (e.g. caviar).

A **multiple seizure** is where two or more category types (e.g. caviar and timber) are seized on a particular occasion. The occasion is counted once in the total number of seizures, but a seizure is counted against each category.

**Example:** A seizure is made of caviar and timber. This seizure would be counted as:

- **Total seizures:** One seizure in the overall total for the number of seizures.
- **Category type:** One seizure of caviar; one seizure of timber or wood products.

New family Immigration Rules came into force on 9 July 2012, which stated that a minimum income of £18,600 should be met by a non-EEA partner who is applying to come to or remain in the UK to settle with a British citizen, a person with settled status or a person with refugee leave or humanitarian protection. A higher figure applies if non-EEA children are also involved. The threshold is to prevent family migrants becoming a burden on the taxpayer, and to help their integration into British society.

The requirement is subject to judicial review in MM & Others, which was heard by the Court of Appeal in March 2014. Until the legal challenge is finally determined by the courts, applications that could be refused purely on income threshold grounds have been put on hold.

Number of cases on hold at the end of March 2014:

- Settlement visa applications made overseas on hold 3,134
- Leave to remain applications made in the UK on hold 507

These figures include principal applicants and dependants, and have been derived from internal management information and are subject to change and revision. They have not been produced to the same protocol as National Statistics. Older Live Cases Unit - 41k Cohort

7 The live cohorts consist of persons who have older asylum or migration cases that the Home Office is actively managing towards conclusion.

8 Data relating to the OLCU Controlled Archive is no longer listed as this was closed following an extensive matching exercise which was concluded on 19th November 2012.

9 Where OLCU completes a review and decides that it is not appropriate to grant leave, the record will be reviewed but not concluded. The individual will remain in the live cohort while removal is progressed. In some cases it will be difficult to remove the individual and the record will not be concluded by our target end date of December 2014.

31 Serious misconduct complaints relate to an allegation against Home Office staff, or contractors acting on behalf of the department, that involves any unprofessional behaviour which, if substantiated, would lead to disciplinary action.

32 Minor misconduct, for example, relate to isolated instances of rudeness and unprofessional conduct by Home Office staff, or contractors acting on behalf of the department, which are not serious enough to warrant a formal investigation and if substantiated they would not lead to criminal or disciplinary proceedings.

33 Service complaints relate to the way that the Home Office works, for example, delay, lost documents or administrative failings. These complaints are both about the actual service provided and the operational policies that the department operates.

34 The number received differs from the number due because the target date will not necessarily be in the same month as the complaint was received.

35 Service standard: 95% to be completed within 12 weeks. The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of complaints completed in target by the number that were due for completion in the month.

36 Service standard: 95% to be completed within 20 working days (from quarter 2 2011-12, previously it was 15 working days). The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of complaints completed in target by the number that were due for completion in the month.

37 Service standard: 95% to be completed within 20 working days. The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of complaints completed in target by the number that were due for completion in the month.
